  “The best Scottish food experience! Went with my family and it was incredible! A classic Scottish environment! The place is super cool, the food was delicious and the staff was really friendly. They have many options to have a great meal! The steak was 10/10, so was the fish and chips, and the sticky toffee pudding was perfect! If you’re up for a drink, the Rozél Rosé is a great choice! Recommend 100%!! Will go back for sure!”

  “We dropped in for dinner on a whim and were delighted, the chicken and haggis was the best meal we had in Edinburgh and we sat reading about the history of Maggie Dickson while we ate. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Food was amazing! And I tried a new rum based drink which was wonderful too.”

  “Went for lunch so the experience doesn’t include the live music or sampling of their whisky. The menus hint at a greater evening experience. Food was delicious albeit a bit slow in the arrival. It’s named after a famous Scottish woman - whom I let discover on your own.”

  “Visited Maggie Dickson’s Pub and had a great experience. The pub has an interesting history behind both its name and the building, which adds a unique touch to the visit. I ordered the fish and chips, and they were excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and arrived quickly. Drinks were also served promptly, which was appreciated given how busy the pub can get. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and despite the crowds, everything felt clean, organized, and well managed. Overall, it’s a great place to enjoy a meal, grab a drink, and soak in a bit of Edinburgh’s history.”

  “We loved absolutely everything about Maggie Dicksons! My husband and I were travelling from Canada and after walking 25,000 steps in the one afternoon were exhausted and trying to find a restaurant with a table available for us for a late dinner (8:00 pm) - on quite a cold May evening. It was a Thursday night and the area was very busy with locals and tourists so we decided we would wait for the next one that opened up - and the staff were amazing after 30 minutes they gave us the next table that opened up even though it seated six! The food was absolutely amazing and the live music was fantastic! The wait staff were all working so hard - a lovely group of young ladies and a young man :) We had the hamhock terrine, haggis and pork sausage roll, fish 'n chips and sticky toffee pudding and it was all so wonderful!! The tiny service charge added to the bill was nothing compared to what we regularly tip in Canada, so we were happy to pay it plus more for the great food and service! And the live music was flawless - he played a great mix of Paul Simon the Beatles and others that I cannot recall now!! We traveled from Scotland all the way down to Basingstoke for our trip, and Edinburgh was by far my favourite place! When we return we will look forward to eating here again!!”

  “I loved it here. Good atmosphere, a very helpful waitress helping us to choose a whiskey, and fantastic fish and chips. The only criticism is to just keep the music to a level that’s not too loud. Most of the time they did, but I think someone’s favourite song came on and they turned it up a bit too much.”

  “Great atmosphere and live music! The staff was great as they let us put in a last minute food order with only minutes until they closed the kitchen. Highly recommend a pint and a burger as you chat with the locals and enjoy the local music!!!”

  “Stumble upon this place on a day that everywhere else was full, lunch was amazing. I had the fish burger, and it was the best I’ve ever had. Friends also had the fish and chips and they rated 10/10. Better than the places that are focused on fish and chips.”
